How to exit X Server?

[Racecar56]

HELP!! I searched all over and I can't find a working solution to exit it.
I'm trying to install NVIDIA drivers for my 1-year old HP Pavillion dv9000 with kubuntu on it. It has a nvidia GeForce Go 7600 (ooga ooga) and why I need these drivers are because Blockland v9 won't start. Yet this isn't a virtual machine.

Do you mean reboot? you could try from terminal

 sudo shutdown -r now

It still gives me the same ol' error.

ERROR: You appear to be running an X server. Please exit X before installing. For further details, please see the section INSTALLING THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com

post plx, and try to install the gcc stuff:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) gcc-4.2 gcc-4.1

Use the thank button if you feel like^^

btw to restart your desktop environment, you may use the command:

/etc/init.d/kdm start

you may try

sudo apt-get build-dep nvidia-glx-new

though I am quite clueless what your problem is.

Can you somehow attach/describe the error output?

How would I? I'm using the same computer as the one that has the problem. However, I might try my other computer...
